working on a new line of 2-D vectorkites:
rotators with 2 D-units.
basic of my first attempt was the Barell Roll from NewTech-kites (item 55027)
size: 96cm x 91cm.
The Barell Roll is a boxkites which rotates around his middle-rood in the air.
line is attached at the top of the middle-rood.

enjoy shoots of my first selfbuilt pendulum 2-D vector unit
(all rights reserved, comercial scratching is not allowed)
vector unit is build with speed glue and 2 x 20mm flat carbon
lipo is placed at the bottom of the pendulum and can connected in different
positions.

How are you attaching the servo to your vector-unit frame? It looks like some sort of servo mount, but where did you buy it?

I bought a diamond kite and I will try to convert it to a vector kite. It has a 76 x 79 cm sail and I will change the fiberglass rods to carbon tubes and set it up to fly with the longer end facing forward. I will let you know how this turns out. I am thinking of using carbon box beams for the vector unit frame. I have to see what they have at the local hobby shop.

I will be glad to post some pics when I get something working LOL. We will see how this goes. So for your servo mount. You glued the 2 mount pieces to the flat carbon then servo fits in the slot held in by the screws. Is that correct?

hi x-heli
thanks for sharing photos with us.
i see no "curve" in the keel-rood and the motor seems to be to fare away from the sail. if you don`t like to cut your very nice built vectorframe down use a bigger sail.
see my very good flying Eddy-kite for example

It might be hard to see in the picture but I have a shock cord pulling the sides up. If that is what you mean by curve in the keel-rod. The motor is about 20 cm (8 inches) above the sail which is about 78x76 cm. How big is the sail in the picture on post #87? I was thinking about getting a bigger kite. I have to work out the issues with the servo arm breaking. I guess they were too brittle.

Hi guys hoping some one can help hoping to purchase a premier delta box sport or delta rc kite with the intention to fit my own 2d vector unit are both these kites suitable for the 2d unit ,if so could any one recommend a reliable honest supplier I am in the uk so will have to be mail order thanks for any replys Dave
